I felt like Mexican food again which is a normal occurrence
for me. I knew I wanted a chile relleno
and thought why not try a new place.
We arrived about 12:30 and they said they would be with us
in a moment, so in a moment they took us to a table and I think gave us the
biggest one they could find for my mom and I.
Not right away but in a few minutes the waitress brought a basket of
chips and a bowl of salsa, I thought it was pretty good, nothing wild or
different than a basic salsa. But I also
really like chips and salsa just about everywhere. So we enjoyed the chips and salsa as we
looked over the menu. This didn’t take too
long to decide what to get. They had
their lunch special in the menu, which was pick two items and came with rice
and frijoles borachos (drunken beans).
We both ordered this with a chile relleno and a cheese enchilada (5.95) as
well as two cokes which we ordered at the same time as the food and not
before. Right after our waitress left
she was back with the cokes just in time since I just hit a hot spot in the
salsa. They were huge cups and I wondered
how much they charged since I didn’t look.
I did find out later it was only $ 1.95 which I thought was a bargain
and I definitely did not need a refill.
It didn’t seem to take too long until our waitress came back with the
food.
The chili relleno was an egg roll
wrapper type relleno that was fried and crispy which is how I like them. This was smothered in green chile, which
tasted pretty good. It had good flavor
but wasn’t too hot. The cheese enchilada
was basic the enchilada part anyways, but the sauce was quite different than a
normal enchilada sauce. It was chili con
carne and also tasted good. I can’t
remember ever having any kind of sauce with meat on top of enchiladas before,
but it was the best part of the cheese enchilada. The rice was good and the beans were actually
more of a soup than the beans at most Mexican places. They also had bacon in with the beans they
were really quite good. I put mixed some
of my rice into the beans after a while and thought that was really good.
